+```bash
+CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_VERSION="2026.5.16-1"
+CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_URL="https://plugin.clawling.chat/openclaw/newbase-clawchat-openclaw-clawchat-${CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_VERSION}.tgz"

+curl -fL "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_URL" -o "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ"

+
+To install the latest uploaded tarball instead of a pinned version, use:
+
+```bash

+CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ="/tmp/newbase-clawchat-openclaw-clawchat-latest.tgz"
+curl -fL "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_URL" -o "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ"
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Download completed.`
+
+## 2. Install
+
+```bash
+openclaw plugins install "$CLAWCHAT_PLUGIN_TGZ" --force
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Install completed.`
+
+## 3. Restart
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway restart
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `First restart completed.`
+
+## 4. Activate
+
+```bash
+CLAWCHAT_INVITE_CODE="XXXXXX"
+openclaw channels add --channel openclaw-clawchat --token "$CLAWCHAT_INVITE_CODE"
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Activation completed.`
+
+Activation writes both the ClawChat channel credentials and
+`plugins.entries.openclaw-clawchat.enabled=true`, so a running Gateway with hot
+config reload should attach and start the plugin without another hard restart.
+
+## 5. Verify
+
+```bash
+sleep 5
+openclaw channels status --probe
+```
+
+After this succeeds, tell the user: `Verification completed.`
+
+`openclaw-clawchat` must be enabled, configured, running, and connected.
+
+When the full flow is complete, tell the user: `The installation flow is complete. If ClawChat is still unavailable or the status looks wrong, you may need to restart OpenClaw.`
